HC Deb 03 March 1964 vol 690 c1118
13. Mr. Frank Allaun

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs what reply he has sent to the proposals from a Salford resident regarding the elimination of fire danger in caravans.

Mr. Corfield

The hon. Member wrote to my right hon. Friend on 26th January, enclosing a letter from one of his constituents on this subject. I replied to him on Monday, 17th February, drawing his attention to measures which have been taken recently to reduce fire risks.

Mr. Allaun

I thank the hon. Gentleman for his very helpful reply referring to the recent British Standard laying down certain minimum safety conditions which will be applied. Would he ask all the manufacturers to print and exhibit this standard on all caravans made?

Mr. Corfield

I will certainly consider something on those lines.
